some extra trouble. Figure 96 represents a case of 
this kind. 
PREPARING BOXES FOR MARKET, 
All boxes should be thoroughly cleaned of any propolis 
and wax that may adhere to them. The scction-boxes 
must now have the glass added. The disadvantages of 
putting section frames, or unglazed boxes, in market have 
been enlarged upon in another chapter. There may be 
markets that demand such, but in all with which I am 
familiar, it is desirable to have glass on both sides. I do 
not urge the glazing of each section-box from pecuniary 
motives, but from the evident fact that it is more prac- 
tical and agreeable to customers. The popularity of the 
single-comb box should be proof of the need of ample 
protection with glass. It would not be very objection- 
able, with five or ten pound cases, to put glass upon but 
one side of each outside box. The case is sold as a fam- 
ily package, and the first box used may be taken from 
the center, and the outside one moved up, thus keeping 
it tolerably close. J should prefer, however, if boxes in 
these smaller cases were not to be wholly glazed, to not 
put any in, but glaze the sides of the case instead, thus 
keeping the combs entirely free from dust and intruders. 
The same suggestions would be applicable to section 
frames. If box-honey has been properly cared for when 
removed from the hive, it may now be prepared for 
market without danger of injury from moth-worms after 
being cased. One of our Bee Journals recently advised 
putting honey upon the market as soon as it was taken 
from the hives. This would be dangerous counsel to 
follow, as it would be certain damage to future sales un- 
less disposed of and consumed at once. Two-comb boxes 
should have all entrances closed. For this purpose, use 
a heavy quality of paper, cut the proper size, and pasted 
over the openings with common flour paste.
